Improvements in Progress By Telegraph — Press Association. BLENHEIM, Last Night. "Most of the -courthouses in New Zeaand have not, for a number of reasons, been very suitable. -For *insxance, the acoustic properties have not been good and that is one of , the first things we have given attention to," remarked the Minister of Justice, the Hon. H. G. E. Mason, in an interview to-day. ' ' Many of the old buildings seemed to b« designed for the purpose of preventing speakers from being heard," he added, "and the department is going to a good deal of trouble up and. tiown the country to have the acoustic properties so iniproved that there will be no strain on the hearing of anyone in the court. Another thing to which., attention is being given is heating and ventilation."
